If you want to call it subjective, then fine.

I use FP-10 CLP now over BreakFree CLP because I used it and it cleaned better for me than the
BreakFree, that was easily visible - I don't see how that could be subjective.
It's lubrication was thicker and that is easily seen too. It smells better - that can be found
by opening the caps and sniffing.

Militec-1, I use less of it to do the same job BreakFree Greased Lightning did with 3x more.
I have not had any rust, the lubricating properties are still on the slide rails even after heavy use.

That's how I decided I liked it better.
All of those things are easily seen - I don't call that simply subjective.

I just ordered some Eezox - am I going to do any extensive popular mechanics
scientific analysis on it?
No - I'm going to use it on my weapons and compare it to what I currently use,
just like I did before I started using what I use currently.

Do you do testing on all the food that you eat to see if it
chemically should taste good first?
After all, just putting it in your mouth and tasting it might only
be a subjective opinion of the food.
[:D]

I guess I'm "old school" where as - if you use something and compare it to what you were using
it will either work better, or not.
I will either see a performance change for the better, worse or no change at all.
I don't need to do any lab testing on it.
It cleans better or not.
It lubricates better or not.
All of this can be seen thru use.

The Break Free Greased lightning is now called Break Free LP.

So its true the FP-10 does not lubricate as well as the militec,but only by a very small margin.

I have tried them all, hell even I took most of the wonder lubes to OIF with me.  But in the end you couldn't tell the differance between any of them.

The last time I cleaned/lubed my pistol.. hmm trying to remember that was high hundreds.. probably a thousand rounds ago.  5-6 months and some wet shoots included.

The slide rails and the rail tabs on the frame still look wet, a q-tip sample confirms they are still oiled sufficiently.  Crud is minimal and that might be an overstatement.  It's in as good of operating condition as ever.

That was after an Eezox treatment?

Oh ok, I know about BF LP.  It's not as good as the BF CLP.



I can't disagree more.  FP-10 showed fantastic lubrication abilities.  Militec-1 was hard to discern a difference in results from dry/no lubrication.

ASTN testing of Militec-1 has also shown it to be a poor lubricator.  Very low weld points, big scar marks, etc.

That is how it looks today.  That is indeed Eezox, but I haven't applied new Eezox for months and many rounds as described above.

Eezox has been used on this pistol for awhile now.  It's good the first time you use it but it really shines after it's been used for awhile (2-3 applications) and really has a chance to work it's way into all the metals and displace whatever other LP's might be present.

I lubricate very lightly, each frame rail gets a drop, the slide rails get a drop worked down their length but the excess gets wiped off.  The solvent is the carrier so when it dries all that is left is lubrication & protection which is "wet" but behaves more like a dry lubricant in that it stays put and doesn't collect dirt & sand easily.
